So we stayed there while Don went to fetch a mechanic from the nearby village. He found a mechanic and came back in an hour. Then we reached Mangalore by mid-night and booked a hotel there. We took rest for the night, had our breakfast the next morning at the same hotel and started our journey again.

There was a river behind the temple of Sringeri. Lots of fishes were in that river waiting for the food to be thrown by the tourists. Each fish weighted almost 5 to 6 kgs and was in different colors as well.

Few of my friends went to the temple and did some prayers. I went to a meditation hall and did a prayer for a while. Some musicians were playing wonderful songs.

The whole area was filled with Karnatic Music. Still I remember the two brothers who were playing the “Nathaswaram”. There was a pin drop silence in that temple. We took a few photos around the temple and bought some things in the shopping area for the remembrance of Sringeri.
